Wicked Price Cuts On Kia EV6 In USA

The post–tax credit blues are hitting automakers trying to sell electric cars in the USA now. Whatever carryover there was in October is long gone, and it seems auto sellers are scraping to find buyers now. No one is rushing in to log a tax credit like in previous years.

Kia dealers are eager enough to move EVs that they are offering discounts up to $11,000 on EV6 and Niro EV options. That moves them from competitive territory to super competitive territory.

Note that Kia’s year-end Sticker Sales Event only applies to select dealer-tagged units. Don’t assume a massive discount on every EV out there.

The discount split here is between a $10,000 post–tax credit incentive for Kia EVs and a $1,000 retail bonus cash incentive.

In the case of the EV6, this means that you can get an EV6 Light for around $33,000. The EV6 Light has a 63 kWh battery that offers about 240 miles of range on a full charge when new. That’s plenty of range for normal use. (It’s what my 2019 Tesla Model 3 SR+ had when new 6 years ago.) It also offers 167 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque (plenty).

The Niro EV potentially has a low price of about $30,000 after the dealer incentives.

Alternatively, leasing, there’s another $500 lease bonus available on some EV6 and Niro EV units.

If you want something that’s a little sportier, here’s a real whopper: the Kia EV6 GT can get up to $17,000 in lease cash! The EV6 GT can go from o–60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, thanks to 641 horsepower and instant torque.

Still in the Kia–Hyundai family, the larger Hyundai IONIQ 9 has a potential $500 retail cash bonus incentive as part of the current Sticker Sales Event, and a potential $250 lease discount. All together, incentives could bring the price of the IONIQ 9 down to $44,000.

These are great deals. Though, I wonder, with how much demand for EVs dropped after Republicans killed the US EV tax credit, if you could get some dealers to go even significantly lower to move units. Hmm, maybe a topic for discussion with Steve Hanley, who used to work in that realm.
